Update: Lester Vaughan closed for remainder of week

The Lester Vaughan School will be closed half day today, February 19, and online classes are to take place on Tuesday, February 20 and Wednesday, February 21, the Ministry of Education has disclosed.

In a statement, the ministry said this is to allow the school’s Board of Management to facilitate work on the compound, following the results of a smoke test conducted on Saturday, February 17 and Sunday, February 19.

“The materials to be used in the remedial works may cause irritation to some, so in the interest of the health and comfort of those on the plant, it is recommended that classes should be facilitated remotely. Parents and guardians who need to collect their children and wards should do so at 12 p.m., today.”

The Ministry of Education, Technological and Vocational Training regrets any inconvenience caused at this time. (METVT)
